As long as I remember I held conversations with myself.

At times of stress I address myself in the third person and ask for help.

The conversation takes place on paper, where images replace letters. The characters I create come out of the paper out of their own volition and present themselves to me, I recognise in them faces of my own personhood.

On a mission of self discovery I am in search for new landmarks hidden in the vast continent of self. The well of my subconscious is the main source of my inspiration.

I need to acquaint myself to all my parts which hold me wholesome before I cease being.

My creative journeys lead me through unknown destinations. I do not determine the direction it takes. I rather allow inspiration to dictate the outcomes without my interference. The results take me by surprise.

The creative process is a rewarding and enriching experience.

I am driven to paint in order to mentally survive. I give birth to images which ignite the pilot of my own existence.

At the age of 3, I asked my dad to supply me with pastels and papers. That child in me continues painting.
